Types Of Wall Mounted Desks For Your WFH Space
The first thing you need when carving out your work-at-home corner is a decent desk. A dedicated table top to stash your laptop computer, your notes, and your morning cup of coffee.
Once upon a time, desks were quite bulky pieces of wood. These days, even in the most compact apartment, you can find a slice of wall or steal a corner and pick a desk that fits your space. From a folding wall desk to a floating wall desk, these pieces are designed to be cute and stylish all while ticking the space-saving box. Take a sneak peek at the different types of wall-mounted desks to suit your cozy décor.
Folding Wall Desk
The folding wall desk is a wonder for those teeny tiny apartments seeking space-saving solutions. They're especially perfect for those who don’t want to work a full-time desk into their décor and design plan. Exactly how it sounds, the folding wall desk can pull down during your office hours and then fold up neatly away when it's time to clock off.
Pick something pretty facing and the folding wall desk can also double as wall décor or a shelf. One of the best things about the folding wall desk is the ability to make it melt into the wall when your workday is done – an excellent advantage for those who struggle to turn off and relax when taking their work home.
- Can fold away into the wall and save space when you finish for the day
- Doubles as wall décor
- Compact storage compartments for supplies
Floating Wall Desk
Stylish and practical, the floating wall desk is another sublime space-saving solution for your place. The floating wall desk is a great investment as when not in use, it can also be used as a shelf to store your books, laptop, or many other beautiful things. Often floating wall desks are tight and compact and along with taking up a tiny amount of space, they lend a minimal Zen-like design to your home.
- Clean looking
- Can double as a shelf
- Often narrow
Compact Wall Desk
Compact wall desks are wonderful little space stowaways. This kind of desk is great for those who want to keep their work area set up on a continual basis. Unlike some of the other wall mounted desk models that need folding away, you can let your compact wall desk stay without taking up too much space.
- Can keep as a dedicated space
- Smaller than a regular desk
Leaning Wall Desk
If you need a little extra space for all your work things but still want everything in reach without taking up too much room, the small leaning wall desk is about to become your godsend. The beautiful open design grants more storage without taking up huge swathes of space. The leaning wall desk is here to unclutter your work zone so you can get task happy without the distraction of constantly shuffling stuff along the surface of your desk.
Another benefit of the leaning wall desk is that you can also use it to camouflage your workspace, especially if you live in a shared place or living zone where you want to keep it office vibe free. Keep the desk area dedicated to work and the extra shelves can easily be beautified with hanging plants, photos, and pretty personal items.
- Added storage space for supplies and other items
- Always on show
- Can be used to camouflage workspace
- Takes up more wall space
